Pa State gas tax is 60 cents a gallon. That money is supposed to go to roads and bridges. Somehow The PA State Police ended up with billions from that fund.Charliesheen wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 5:27 pmGasoline taxes and federal mandates on formulation account for most of the disparity with other states.

So I basically went 1 for 2 on theses. As of this morning, Upstart is now up to $272/share, Crwd is about $266/share. Crwd had a good earnings report, and beat expected numbers, but didn't blow them away like they have in the past. I've sold half of my Crwd shares and have bought more Upstart, as well as some shares in a company with the ticker Mndy.B-Tender wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 5:10 pmSo as of a half hour ago, Upstart was trading around $218 a share.B-Tender wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 4:35 pmWhen I posted this on Tuesday, this stock was at 135.68.

Another stock I've owned for a couple years is Crowdstrike. They were just added to the Nasdaq 100, and two other minor indexes. The stock is up about 8% today on that news. They report earnings on Aug. 31. One of their main competitors(Palo Alto Networks) just reported earnings, beat projections, and is currently up 17% today. If CRWD has results, it looks like they might get a nice pop as well.
